When using 911 Valve Adjusters, with the early rockers (modified of course) what is the starting point on the adjusters. How much do you screw them in to the rockers before you start the valve train geometry procedure. I would imagine you need to have enough threads in either direction for future valve adjustments, but how much ? Thanks for your support, I am at this critical stage on my engine now .

Countersinking the hole for the threads will give a bit more adjustment.
What you want to do is have the rocker aligned straight with the valve at half lift. You may need to install shims under the rocker arm shafts. |

You may need to install shims under the rocker arm shafts. Thanks for your input..............I fully understand the objective of setting the correct geometry. My question is this: How much (how many threads) should you leave for future adjustment for greater clearance (backing out the adjuster) I know the adjuster is way long enough for future closing the clearance, but what about for increasing it. Just looking now for a good starting point considering future adjustment both ways. |
